Junk removal in Southport, done the Junkbird way
Southport has the highest density of apartments and student rentals on the Gold Coast, which means a steady flow of end-of-lease clean-outs, abandoned furniture and office fit-out waste around the CBD and the hospital precinct. We know the loading-dock rules for most of the larger towers.
The City of Gold Coast doesn't run a scheduled free kerbside hard-rubbish pickup, so most bulky waste either goes to a transfer station in your own ute or gets collected by an operator like us. City of Gold Coast charges commercial loads around $350 per tonne at its transfer stations — Junkbird's price includes every tip and levy fee.
Local notes: Southport
Getting to you. Southport is about 25 minutes north of our Burleigh Heads depot on the M1 or Gold Coast Highway; morning slots are easiest before the Nerang Street and Scarborough Street traffic builds.
Southport is the Gold Coast's commercial and medical centre — offices and clinics around Nerang Street, Scarborough Street and the Southport CBD, the Gold Coast University Hospital and Griffith precinct to the west, and a dense band of apartments along the Broadwater and the light-rail corridor. Office fit-out waste, clinic furniture and IT equipment with certified data wipe are our most common commercial jobs here.
For apartment towers on the Broadwater and Marine Parade we coordinate with building managers for lift bookings and loading-dock times. For the older housing stock in Southport Park, Labrador and Ashmore, it's mostly shed and garage clear-outs and deceased estates.
Typical Southport job: a small professional office in the CBD being decommissioned — 12 workstations, 6 filing cabinets, chairs, two printers and a server rack. Furniture to our reuse partners, e-waste through Sircel with a per-device wipe certificate, invoice to the business with a recovery report.

Southport rubbish removal — common questions
How much does rubbish removal cost in Southport?
From $120 for a single item, then by load size — ⅛ of the truck up to a full 10 m³ — including GST, two crew and every tip fee. Pick your load or tick your items in our online quote and the exact price shows before you book. Same price in Southport as everywhere else we serve.
Can you do same-day rubbish removal in Southport?
Usually, yes. Book before 11am for the best chance of a same-day slot in Southport; next-day is standard. The City of Gold Coast doesn't run a scheduled free kerbside hard-rubbish pickup, so most bulky waste either goes to a transfer station in your own ute or gets collected by an operator like us.
What do you take in Southport?
Furniture, mattresses, whitegoods, e-waste and computers (with certified data wipe), solar panels, garden and shed junk, renovation leftovers, office fit-out waste and deceased estate contents. We can't carry asbestos, chemicals or paint, gas bottles, needles, food waste or loose batteries — see our red list.
Do I need to be home for the pickup in Southport?
No. Kerb, driveway, garage or a nominated spot is fine. We photograph the job before and after, and you pay once it's done.
Are tip fees included?
City of Gold Coast charges commercial loads around $350 per tonne at its transfer stations — Junkbird's price includes every tip and levy fee.
Can you do after-hours pickups for Southport offices and clinics?
Yes. Commercial jobs in the Southport CBD and the hospital precinct often run after 5pm or on weekends to avoid disrupting staff and patients; an after-hours surcharge applies and shows in the quote.
Do you handle apartment buildings on the Broadwater?
Yes. Tell us the building name and we arrange the lift and dock booking with the manager. Mattresses, couches and whitegoods are carried down by our crew — nothing needs to be left in the corridor.
